I thank you for your honesty and I respect your opinion. Fine, “at best silly, or annoying, or at worst result in the degredation of quality” simple criticism and a disagreement is totally fine, but, don’t insult me with the word stupid. > “for whatever stupid reasons” > Calum Tsang It’s too bad that you interpret my ‘Group Pride’ as stupid…sorry I care. I don’t feel that it’s a stupid reason to be proud of our growth. I just don’t like it when my post are responded to as stupid! I at times disagree with others, but I don’t call ‘their’ posts stupid. You think my ‘progress reports’ are stupid, well I think your ‘isolationist tactics’ are unfounded. But theirs a difference… I call it isolationist tactics… not stupid… I argue with the concept of the action… not with the individual! You don’t want Larry to post in LUGNET.ORG.rtlToronto… to bad! Can you say ‘OPEN FORUM!’ ;) http://news.lugnet.com/org/us/michlug/?n=1787 Do what ever you want with your website, Do what ever you want with your group, BUT, Just don’t try an’ stifle the free speech of other! So what if you don’t like my posts, ignore them, walk away. Still Aggravated, (But not so angry any more.) --==Riçhärd==-- You can reach me @ Shroud_of_Kung_Fu@Hotmail.com . -Lego good, Canada great-®

<snip> (...) Richard, Take it easy. Just so you know the posts did look like rtlToronto was trying to start a competition with NELUG. That may not be how you meant them but that is how I perceived them. You might also not be aware that many people (...)
